Dinamo Zagreb Betting Stats

Croatian soccer player Andrija Mutafelija and a few friends founded Gradanski in 1911. With Croatia still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the club was founded with an unmistakable Croatian identity.

In 1923, Gradanski won their first Yugoslav First League title. They also toured Spain in 1923 and defeated teams like FC Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao. During the German occupation of Yugoslavia, the Independent State of Croatia was still allowed to hold soccer tournaments. So, Gradanski won the 1943 Independent State of Croatia League.

After the war, the communist ruling authorities disbanded the club in retribution for competing in the Nazi-sponsored league. A successor team, called FD Dinamo was created just three days later. Many of Gradanski’s former players made the switch over to Dinamo. The first Yugoslav championship in the Dinamo Zagreb stats came in 1947-48.

They finished as league runners-up in 1950-51 but won their first ever Yugoslav Cup during the same season. Dinamo first played in European competition in the 1958-59 European Cup but were eliminated in the first round. The first European final in the GNK Dinamo Zagreb stats was a 1962–63 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final appearance. They lost 4-1 to Valencia on aggregate, but returned to the final in the 1966-67 season.
